Here’s Ozzie Guillen:
”Our plan is to keep him in the bullpen to see what the big leagues are all about just in case this kid makes the ballclub next year. He’ll know what it’s about. We won’t have to teach him everything. ‘It was a great move by [general manager Ken Williams] to bring up this kid who’s got a chance to be here next year. ‘I like the way he throws. I don’t remember a guy who came up to the big leagues and all of a sudden throws the way he did. He pitched to a lot of Triple A players, call-ups, and maybe that’s why. But I’d like to see him face the real deal. He seems like he responds pretty well. A lot of people in the organization are pretty high on him. I [like his work]. He’s going to be better, too, because he’s going to have more confidence. And if you have more confidence, you throw strikes. That’s a nice thing to see.”
